What other options are coming in the future?

For those who want to get Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero at a cheaper price, you'll have to wait. For now, it is known that a rental version will be available starting March 28, where we will have the movie at our disposal for 48 hours after pressing play.

It is also expected that the movie will be available on Crunchyroll. In addition to being the distributor of the movie in North America, the official Dragon Ball Super Instagram account announced in mid-December that Crunchyroll would be in charge of the home video release of the movie. However, aside from pre-ordering the Blu-ray version for March 14, there has been no mention of its arrival on the streaming service. Taking this into account, its arrival could come so as not to take away strength from the sale of the physical format of the movie.

What is Super Hero's place in Dragon Ball?

Coinciding with the release in Japan of the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero anime comic -the usual comics that adapt the anime through screenshots of the movies themselves-, Akira Toriyama himself, the creator of Dragon Ball, has clarified the chronology of that movie. “The movies up to now have followed major episodes in the ten years between the original manga’s Majin Buu arc and the final chapter. ‘Super Hero’ is a story right before the final chapter,” shared Toriyama.
